Fractured Realities Is Available Now
Today is the day.
After months of planning, editing, designing, proofing, and preparing for release, Fractured Realities by photographer Collin J. Rae is officially available worldwide on Amazon!
This project has been a rewarding collaboration from start to finish, and seeing the finished book finally reach readers is incredibly exciting. Featuring 138 full-color portraits, Fractured Realities invites viewers into a world where familiar faces become something unexpected through distortion, reflection, texture, and light.
Created entirely through practical photographic techniques rather than digital manipulation, the images challenge conventional portraiture while exploring identity, perception, beauty, and emotional expression.
A Collection That Challenges How We See
What happens when a face becomes something unfamiliar?
Throughout Fractured Realities, Collin transforms recognizable portraits into captivating visual experiences that exist somewhere between reality and abstraction. The work encourages viewers to slow down, look deeper, and reconsider their assumptions about what a portrait can be.
Each image reveals new details through repeated viewing. Faces emerge and disappear. Features fragment and reform. Reflections create unexpected narratives. The result is a body of work that feels both intimate and mysterious at the same time.
Whether you approach the book as a photography enthusiast, visual artist, collector, or simply someone who appreciates unique creative work, Fractured Realities offers a viewing experience unlike any traditional portrait collection.
Featuring Artists, Musicians, Actors & Creative Collaborators
One of the most compelling aspects of Fractured Realities is the diverse group of subjects featured throughout the collection.
The book includes portraits of musicians, writers, artists, actors, and creative collaborators from a variety of disciplines, including:
- Shari Vari of Void Vision
- Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir
- Althea Leventhal of Ships in the Night
- Actress Jon Mack, known to horror fans for her role as Jane in Saw VI
Alongside these notable names are many other fascinating creative voices whose portraits contribute to the book’s rich visual landscape. Together, they form a collection that is as much about artistic community as it is about photography.
